Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Bill.


Northern Ireland Bill

I received a delegation, as the hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Mr. Donaldson) mentioned, and it was impressive. The arguments that were mounted were cogent and well presented and I have said that I will seriously consider them. The argument was for a freeze at the present level. I have also said that I would be happy to refer the matter to the Assembly—in the form that that is about to happen—for its own consideration, as well, and would take note of what was said there.
